I rcently purchased an item from EE Dec 13th. I sent a Postal M/O out within a week of puchase Dec 20th. Work hours would not permit me to make it to the post office before. I sent the M/O Priority, they said it would be there before Christmas (meaning by friday the 23rd) through e-mail I have kept the seller informed. I told him if it does not show up to let me know and I would cancel the M/O sent, and over night him another. He said ok and that he would wait until Thursday Dec 29th. I didnt hear anything. E-mailed him last night to see if it had come or if I should over night another. He now says he has decided to keep the item or re-list it since he has others interested and would send my M/O back if it showed up. I asked him to keep his word on waiting until thursday and have not heard back yet. ???WHAT TO DO ???

He just e-mailed me saying he would wait till thursday. We'll see what happens.

Can you scan and post a pic of the MO receipt and the stub from the MO showing the date purchased and mailed?

If you sent Priority w/ confirmation, what does the confirmation number show on the USPS website?

I am sure if you showed proof to the seller that you have and are making every attempt to get this deal done that he would be willing to work with you.

My dad sent my wife and me a card for Christmas and one for my son and one for my daughter from California. Ours and our sons showed up a week before Christmas. My daughters showed up the day before Christmas and they were all mailed at the same time.

I also had a member purchase and Aimpoint cover from me and the MO took over a week to get here and he mailed from Minnesota which normally would take 2-3 days.

Thanks for the tip. I was a moron and did not get the conformation so I didnt have a tracking number. I scaned the reciept for the priority shipping,(that showed his city and state on it) and the reciept for the money order and e-mailed them to him. Now he has the dates and a little proof that im not trying to jack him around.

A word of advice, never use the letter size Priority Mail windowed envelopes. These tend to get lost. This has happened to me a couple of times. I will only use the 9"X12" Priority Mail envelopes now and had never had a problem since.

As a USPS management employee for 27 years I would not be so quick to place blame. Priority Mail nationwide has a service score in the mid to upper 90's. Usually it takes only 2-3 days but there is not guarantee with Priority, but in many instances it is there in one. How do you know the "seller" isn't scamming you? I'd wait to see if you get the money order back.

USPS is the crap right now. Had two items shipped Priority in Dec. One shipped the 21st and arrived a week ago. The other one shipped the 19 and just showed up today. That onwas maked that it had been found in a supposedly empty machine. So much for 2-3 days.

It may be situations like this one here that keeps that number in the mid to upper 90's rather than the upper 90's to 100

OOPS!

The on time delivery scores always dip due to the large volume volume of Priority Mail that is handled in Dec. in contrast to the rest of the year.
